Tips for my closeted witches <3
-Pick up gardening or cooking so you have an excuse to buy/grow herbs/plants
-Do your big spells at night, so no one will intrude & the power of the moon will be the highest than too
-For making moon water just stick a glass of water on your window sill for a couple hours, it doesn’t need to be overnight
-Use symbolism & substitution, such as symbols that represent any deities your work with (if you work with them) this way you can represent them subtly
-Wear a black shirt for protection (use color magic for clothes or make up)
-Make paper book covers to cover your witchcraft books, put them behind other books, or place them with your school work
-Take advantage of windy days and use wind to cleanse
-Practice candle magick
-Research energy work
-Practice ring magick
-Work with essential oils
-Use pdf books and change the name of the file
-Start a crystal collection because they’re pretty
-Start a candle collection because they smell nice
-When making sigils, write them in moon water or in invisible ink so your parents won’t see them
-Store pressed dried herbs in books
-If you play an instrument you can turn spells into songs or melodies
-Use regular cards instead of a tarot deck for cartomancy (in the link down below is our discord server where you will be able to find how to use and play cartomancy), you can also make your own tarot!
-Use showers to cleanse yourself with water and visualization
-Create a cleansing spray and disguise it as an air freshener
-Make a travel alter in an altoids can or make an altar on a board/baking tray and store it under your bed
-Turn your room into an altar, a plant could represent earth in the north corner, a fan or incense burner in the east for air, a dragons statue south for fire and a fountain for water in the west (you can choose what represents each element, this is an example)
-You can also make your altar in a shoebox
-make a digital altar (a dedicated tumblr blog, pinterest board, moodboard, a crafted temple in a building game, etc)
-dedicate meals to them before you eat it, art, music, writing, etc
-Say your grimoire/bos is a book of story ideas or info for a game of dnd
-make digital grimoires/bos in notion or google drive
-Art magick!!
-Sigils as fancy doodles or a language for a fantasy setting
-Trace sigils in your food, in the shower, while applying skin care, in your notebooks, digitally on pictures in your phone, draw a sigil on your nails before painting them with nail polish
-Drinking tea and you’re bad at drawing sigils at the bottom with honey? Don’t like the taste of honey but want to incorporate sigils on your tea) use washable markers on your mugs, you can also use color intent
-enchant your jewelry, masks, clothes, etc
-Pass your pendulum as jewelry
-Make your own incense with kitchen spices/herbs
-If you need to get rid of the smell of incense or perfume or burnt herbs, you can make a solution of 50% water and 50% white vinegar in a spray bottle, also keeping a wet wipe or mini towel next to you can absorb some of the odor
-Hide stuff in plain sight and say they’re decorations (crystals, shells, feathers, etc)
-Spend time on nature so you can connect to the Earth
-If you want to have chalices, you can try to find a cup that you can pass off as drinking cup you keep in your room, if this isn’t possible, than even something as small as a thimble can work
-containers you can use, little pots of lip balm when it runs out, container ||sharpeners||, the containers of camera fills, use old makeup containers, sweet containers, lead containers (pencils, compasses, etc.), medicine containers, etc
-take advantage of being home alone!!!!
-candle wax can be replaced with glue (if you want it with color respondence you can put colorant in it) or melted crayons

Protection Jar Recipe
Materials (not all herbs are required, but these are what I use):
A jar
Cinnamon
Rosemary
Lavender
Thyme
Salt (table salt is fine)
Bay leaf or small piece of paper
A way to seal your jar (candle wax or lid or both)
Funnel/spoon to get ingredients into the jar
Steps:
Cleanse your jar in your preferred method
If you are using a candle to seal, I carve some protection runes into the side and begin burning it as I prep the rest
Layer herbs into the jar, stating your intention for protection out loud with each one
Order of herbs I use: cinnamon, salt, rosemary, thyme, lavender
On your paper or leaf, write something like "I am protected" or draw a protection rune/sigil
Add the paper/leaf to the jar
Seal the jar with lid or cork
If adding wax, hold the candle sideways over the top of the jar to allow the wax to drip onto the lid and down the sides
With your last step, repeat your manifestation for protection one last time
You can wear the jar or place them around your home

(smudging is a term from Native American that is not an open practice, smoke cleansing is called Smoke Cleansing, smudging is closed as well as white sage and san palo, important Native American herbs)
I would definitely look into what are closed practices, as to avoid any cultural appropriation as many things like ‘honey jars’ or hoodoo powders are actually from closed or semi closed practices. It is important to know where these come from and it’s cultures as to avoid closed practices appropriation and to use some things like Nazar or chakras to know the significance and actual history and if you can work with them or not. Especially with spells or Deities or anything new.

✨ How to Make Your Own Sigils ✨ (and how to use them!)
This is how I, personally, make my sigils and reap the greatest rewards. You can use whatever methods you see best fit, or use sigils someone else has made with their permission.
Before I start, I clean up my room and my altar to rid my room of stagnant or negative energy. I clean my room, then sound cleanse the space to ensure that nothing is sticking around to steal my energy, or mess up my sigil-making process. If this is something I feel I really want, or may need, I will light a candle of the corresponding color to meditate with.
1. Think of a phrase or word that portrays what you want in a concise manner. If you choose a phrase, make sure that it is written in present tense like you already have it. If you do not, then you may internally block yourself from being able to acquire your desires. Also, ensure that it will benefit you for the better and harm none intentionally.
DO:
I am happy.
Happy.
I have abundance.
Confidence.
Prosperity.
DON’T:
I want to have more money.
I need to grow my account.
Please, please, please, please, give me [thing].
2. Write it out, cross out any repeating letters or vowels. I write it out and cross out the letters a couple of times to make sure I didn’t miss any letters. The longer your phrase is, the harder this part will be, hence why it is better to start small.
ABUNDANCE
B D C
3. Use the letters to make a design, or assign the letters to a number using the chart given below.
B (2) D (4) C (3)
After assigning the letters to a number, write the numbers 1-9 in a circle, but not in order. Write them in whatever order feels right. You can change this whenever you want.
After you write out the circle of numbers, you are able to make your sigil design! In my example we are using the numbers listed earlier, starting in the center then going to each number (starting in the center isn’t necessary).
Now you have a basic shape for your sigil! You can stop here, or add more detail to your sigil. I, personally, turn my sigils into mini artworks because I am artistically inclined. You do not have to, but I feel like it helps focusing your intentions further if you put more work into it.
This is the final product! Use colors that correspond with what you want to amplify it.
I set them as my Lock Screen or Home Screen to put them in my subconscious mind. I also put them on rocks and sticky notes around my room, do whatever works!
Make sure you charge the sigil with your energy, or another energy, so it’ll work. ALWAYS protect yourself when trying something new. You can do this through grounding and meditation, candle work, sunlight, or moonlight. You may have to charge it again later, before it has served its purpose. I recommend charging them when you feel it’s energy turn stagnant, or once a month.
Here is a sigil I recently made that is more artsy.
If it works, it works, do what will work best for YOU.
There are millions of ways to make a sigil, so play around with it and find what works for you. Some simply people draw their intent, and that becomes their sigil, it varies so greatly. There is no wrong way to make a sigil.
Sigils can serve whatever purpose you give them, so put a lot of thought into whatever you ask for to ensure it is truly what you want.
Please do not use sigils to control others. (ie. “This person is in love with me” sigils)
Please protect yourself while trying new sigils. I have experienced firsthand what happens if you don’t protect yourself. Protect your energy.
Why you should lock your mirrors and how to do it
Taken from my BOS, inspired by a viral tiktok, adapted to my own practice
In Mesoamerican culture, mirrors were seen as portals. Some say that these portals are from one dimension to another, and others say it is a portal to the realm of the dead. This is why many witches suggest covering your mirrors at night or if they are facing your bed. However, some may want to have the full convenience of not covering their mirrors at all, during any time of day. This is where locking mirrors comes in. Not only is it convenient, but it adds another layer of protection to your home. Wards mean nothing if you have an open portal to the dead in your bathroom.
How to lock a mirror:
Gather full moon water, florida water, or another protective liquid that won’t leave a stain on the mirror.
Wash (physically clean) and cleanse (spiritually clean) your hands. You can do this by running them under water or passing them through incense smoke.
Dip your fingers into the moon water, or whatever liquid you are using, and draw a pentacle or protective sigil on the mirror. Imagine the mirror closing (you can visualize this as a light behind the mirror fading, or metal bars locking in front of the mirror--whatever your mind’s eye sees the portal as).
Let the water on the mirror air-dry on its own.
How did you meet Healer or find your mate? How can I find my mate
Quite simply: You find your spirit mate when you’re meant to find them. And you don’t always realize they’re going to be a mate right away. And like with human partners (at least ideally), being mates is consensual; it’s not like you alone pick your mate. The spirit has to choose to date you as well.
I have, to be honest, 21 mates (8 spirit spouses, and 13 who are dating/courting me at their comfort and/or in their cultural manners). Generally mine I met as companions first who just wandered in through my warding as many well-intentioned entities do and chose to stay to work with me. Some I’ve worked with as a companion since I was a child (like Her*, Healer, and Luvoso), and some I’ve worked with as a young adult (Rain, R, and G are cases of this), and others I’ve worked with for a not quite a year to about two years (V, B, S, Z, Rat, Ayrus, Derno, Holy Demon, and Doctor are examples). The courting has always gone as this: the spirit expresses interest in being my mate/partner, we discuss both our comforts and discomforts (or rather the do’s & don’t’s) with dating, our ways of expressing love (as everyone’s ways are different), my explaining the fact I have multiple partners and how intolerance of any of them won’t be acceptable, my requesting they come to me if there are issues (generally there isn’t as my astral form can split so I can spend time with all of them while I bi-exist in the astral plane), and our working out a schedule for dates both astrally and here with myself in the physical. Basically we started out as friends first then started dating.
As for how I met Healer. Well, him and his sister Her* and some of their friends just showed up one day when I was about 5. They asked if they could stay, which my companions Everchanging and Crane and myself said was fine. Some helped with the super early stages of the refuge, and some like Healer and Her* chose to work with me as a companion. No, Healer (nor Her*) saw me right away and decided they were going to be my mate. They both left for a time, as can happen with companions, because our paths were diverging as we grew and changed (more specifically me), and it wasn’t until a few years ago when they returned and we started bonding again that they realized their feelings for myself (and vice versa for me with them).
(If you want to know all their “names”- they’re not actual names, but nicknames used for Tumblr: Spirit Spouses: Snake, Greyed, Topaz Eyes, Silvered, Him*, Ayrus, Derno, & Her*; Mates: Healer, Rat, Z, Rain, Luvoso, V, B, H, S, R, G, Doctor, and Holy Demon)

𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐍 𝐈𝐒 𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐖𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒
When you are not being the person you desire, you are robbing everyone else from the joy you can bring them and worse, you rob yourself. - Edward Art
the sin which the bible talks of is not fulfilling your desires. you are meant to fulfill your desires. for what other reason do you live then? you are meant to live in happiness, to experience all the joy in the world. and if you are actively not letting yourself experience that joy then you are sinning. do not restrict yourself of joy. if you do not let yourself experience joy you are restricting everyone else of joy too as everyone is you pushed out, therefore, the pure joy you feel will ultimately be reflected onto everything. but when you are not being the person you desire then you are not letting the rest of the world be joyous either.
Imagination defined in the dictionary is the faculty of mind that produces images independent of reality. The world thinks this (3D world) is reality, and your imagination is not. I am telling you, it is just the reverse. - Neville Goddard
your imagination is your reality and the 3D world is not. the 3D world is but a reflection of reality (your imagination). that is because you only live through your imagination and everything you see is therefore a creation (manifestation) of it.
so, why ponder on the how? it’s quite pointless. just imagine and let it be. feel it to be yours and there’s nothing else to be done. it’s already yours because your imagination is the reality, not the outer-world. to change your reflection, you must first change self. not the other way around.
You can't discuss HOW I am going to Barbados when I am already IN Barbados. - Neville Goddard
if you already have it in your mind’s eye, then nothing can stop it from reflecting back into the outside. if you change your hair you inevitably see it in the mirror. if you change something about yourself it will inevitably manifest on the outside.

“Reverse” changelings are rarely addressed on tumblr, but it’s actually something that I discuss with others in the craft frequently offline. So I thought I would compile it into a comic for witchblr!

✨Faeries ✨
Today we’ll be talking about Faeries! Also known as Fairies, The Fae, The Fair Folk, The Honest Folk, The Little Folk, and many more.
- What are faeries?: The answer to this differs between personal belief and cultures. What we do know is they are powerful, tricky, spirits found in nature. I personally like to think of them as nature spirits, having a specific connection to a place, like a river. Or a certain tree, plant, flower, element, ect. Each existing to protect or represent that thing, and be called on in its name. I also think faeries are specific extensions of the energies and correspondences surrounding the elements. Where do I find them?: As stated above, in nature! There are many different faeries, with different stories, associations, and things to offer. If there is nature, there are faeries. Why should I work with them?: Let’s get this straight for those who are new, you do NOT have to work with or even believe in them to be a witch. That being said, Faeries can help as reconnect with nature, they can keep the nature that surrounds us safe too. For example helping and protecting a garden, they can help us in the way spells can too. They can help with luck, love, growth, happiness, just about anything you’d use a spell for. But don’t be fooled, faeries can also be tricksters. The majority of them are mischievous by nature. So beware, and stay safe. I’ll get into how to do that in a bit. How do I work with them?: Fae are similar to other spirits or Deities in that they have specialties, they can offer you help and advice. If you just want to keep on good terms with them or open up general communication and see where it goes you should go out into nature and leave an offering. Preferably near your house. If you want something specific, however, you should look into different kinds of Fae that are associated with that thing. To contact a specific fae, you could go somewhere that fae is associated with and leave an offering or do divination. You could meditate on the situation with them in mind. Summon them into a dream. It’s up to you and your practice. Ways to honor them/offerings: • Meditate and focus on them • if you grown fruits and veggies, leave the last of it on the plant for them. • Leave a bit of choice food like milk, bread, or wine out on the earth for them. They also like shiny things like jewelry, the finer things. • Make an altar to them, especially to specific Fae. • Leave a space near the fire for them. Is there anything I shouldn’t do or be warned of?: Yes! The Fae are mysterious creatures who can be easily offended. Here’s a list of do’s and don’ts when working with or communicating with The Fae. DON’T be rude! Do not say anything disrespectful to the Fae, they consider themselves better than us and are more powerful and tricky than us. Often, much much older too. This also includes not snooping in a Faeries things or realm, not speaking of gifts or blessings they bring you, and not carrying iron with you or near them (it hurts them and WILL be seen as insulting or an attack.) And absolutely do not lie! Always keep promises. This goes with the last tip, don’t lie to them and if you don’t keep a promise or deal the debt WILL be repaid either by your own hand, or perhaps less favorably by theirs. Do not accept a gift, say sorry, or thank you. Once more on the topics of debts, doing any of these things implies you have a debt to them and you don’t want to find yourself in that situation. Do not give them your name. This gives them power over you. Instead say “You may call me ___.” Perhaps give them a nickname of yours. Do not mention a child, especially an infant! The Fae love children but they may switch the child with a changeling or cause misfortune for the child if you anger them, do not risk it! Do not dance with them or accept food or drink. In folklore and stories this ends with dancing till death, or being forever tied to the Fae’s realm. Mind your words. The Fae are masters of trickery, they’re mischievous by nature. The Fae tend to take things literally, like genies in movies. You might not break any of these rules, yet they’ll still mess up what you ask for or wish for. Choose your wording VERY carefully, especially when asking for help. How can I learn more?: I would highly recommend The Fairy Bible by Teresa Moorey. She goes over just about anything and everything you’d want to know relating to Faeries. She also goes over many types of Faeries, including elemental faeries, weather faeries, tree faeries, flower faeries, and household faeries. If you have anymore questions about the Fae feel free to message me! I adore this topic. I hope this helped your or you learned something! Enjoy! Have a lovely day 💖
lollll dude have you seriously not realized that all things are delicately interconnected yet? at your age?
the craziest thing about being alive is that you have to live with other people’s interpretations of you
VOID STATE APPRECIATION.
I am grateful for the void, I can tap into it whenever I’d like to. It’s easy to tap into and really calming.
I can hear nothing but my thoughts, it’s a place where I can be at peace without the fear of anything unexpected to occur.
It’s a wonderful state to be in, it is soothing for my head and it is also great for manifesting my desires within seconds.
Mastering the void feels amazing, knowing that I can be in this peaceful state whenever I’d like and that I can manifest my desires right then and there is comforting.

Train Your Mind
hi <3 this isn’t meant to bring up bad memories or anything (please don’t feel like you need to answer) but with the hardship you went though, how did you stay consistent with having a strict mental diet? like how did u change ur life in a week by sticking with it, as I’m struggling really bad with homelife and feel like I’m just too drained daily bc of it. I’ve read your ‘how I changed my life’ post and I’m trying to apply the law but it’s like I never reach the sabbath state, even with persisting and affirming. (this isn’t meant to be a trauma dump I just need advice !)
don’t strain yourself, my dear. affirming is a technique, don’t do it if you don’t want to.
you’re not trying to get into the wish fulfilled, you’re already there. it’s the end state. take it easy on yourself.
close your eyes and ask yourself, in your imagination, do you have your dream life? say yes to imagination because that’s the only truth. that is what creates reality.
“I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does.”
imagination is the father, the outer world is the son. it has no will of its own, only to serve and reflect what you claim to be in imagination.
now bask in this feeling that you do have it. not you will - you do. you have it now.
return to this state whenever you want to - it’s your end, your truth.
there’s no extra work you have to do.
with a mental diet, I only affirmed on loop whenever the intrusive thoughts that came affected my mood/mental state. for the others, they remained powerless so there was no point in going against them, just shift your awareness and let them pass.
summing up all of my posts, in one phrase: discipline will get you places.
humans are creatures of habit. if all you’ve been used to your whole life is speaking negatively to yourself, procrastinating on projects, not setting priorities, ignoring responsibilities, not putting the quality of your life first, you can’t expect to move mountains if you refuse to continue on a new path you set for yourself. no one is saying it’s going to be an easy, pretty, pink sparkly process but stop making it a habit to give up after something goes wrong or a mistake is made. this is not a race or a graded assignment that needs to be perfect, this is life; a personal journey. stop thinking that failure is fatal. it’s nothing but an opportunity to learn and grow. that is how you become successful. you have the chance to live the life you dream of. it’s up to you to get up and keeping going. make that choice time and time again no matter what it takes. you can do this.
